Application filed January e1, 1913.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that l, Nnnnin G. DE LANEY, or" Portersville, in the county of Tulare and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dishlvashing Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as (Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in dish Washing machines,the object of the invention being to provide a machine of the character specified, which shall be simple in construction; cheap to manufacture and 'Wlllcll shall operate to effectually and quickly cleanse dishes placed therein.

With this object in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of consaruction and combinations of parts as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is avertical sectional view of a dish-Washing machine embodying my improvements; Fig. 2 is a front elevation With the doors open; Fig. 3 is a vertical transvcrsefsectiona-l view, and Fig. i is a horizontal sectional view on the line M of 3.

1 represents a rectangular casing which may be conveniently made of galvanized sheet metal, and supported on legs 2 which may also he constructed of sheetmetal and removahly secured in posltlon by means of suitable bolts.

- Shelves 3 (preferably constructed of sheet metal channels) are located Within the casing in superimposed relation, properly spaced apart, to receiveracksl containing; dishes to be washed. The shelves 3 thus divide the casing into superimposed communi cating compartments suitably spaced apart. These compartments will be closed by drop doors 5 hinged at their lower edges and provided With brace arms 6. When these doors are open, as shown in the drawings, they form shelves Which facilitate the insertion and Withdrawal of the racks oi dishes.

A channel 7 is located Within the receptacle at the juncture of the back 8 with the top 9 thereof. This channel may be conveniently madeof slieetmetal and secured in place by "soldering; and forms a duct which receives Water through a valved coupling 10 and a pipe 11 from a boiler or other source of supply, The wall of the channel Specification of Letters Patent.

or duct 7 is perforated to permit the disalso secured to the under face of the top 9 and communicate with the duct or channel 7 so as to receive Water from the latter.

Vertical channels 13 also constructed of sheet metal and perforated) are secured to the inner'face of the hack 8 of the casing and. form ducts communicating with the duct or channel 7. Perforated channels 14 are vertically disposed and secured to the inner faces of the-sides 15 and With these channels, horizontal perforated channels 16 secured to the inner faces of the sides 15, communicate.

The vertical channels 13 and 1e terminate at their lower ends in the lower chamber of the casing somewhat above the lower rack shelf as shown in Fig. The channels 13 are provided at their lovver ends and also at points above the plane oil the upper rack shelf, With couplings for the reception of horizontal pipes 17 which project toward Various slight changes might he made in the details of construction of invention Without departing from the spirit thereof or limiting its scope and hence I do not I wish torestrict myself to the precise details hereln set forth.

What ll claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is

1. in a dish Washing machine, the combination "with a casing, and rack shelves therein, of perforated channels secured to the inner faces of the top, back and sides of the casing and cooperating With the same to form ducts communicating "with. each other, a valved Water inlet for supplying Water to said ducts, and a valved outlet commnnicating with the bottom of the casing.

:2. In a dish Washing machine, the combination with a sheet metal casing and means therein for supporting dishes, of a plurality per o a ed sheet metal channels secured to the inner faces of the top, back and sides of the casing and cooperating with the same to'form communicating ducts, a valved Water inlet communicating with one of said ducts, and a valved Water outlet communicating with the bottom of the casing.

3. In a dish Washing machine, the combination with a casing and rack shelves therein, of vertical perforated channels secured to the inner face of the back of the casing and cooperating therewith to form ducts, horizontal perforated. pipes, each communicating at one'end with one of said vertical ducts and closed at the free end, said perforated pipes being disposed over the rack shelves so as to forcibly discharge water directly against the dishes held in racks on said shelves, means for supplying Water to said ducts and means for discharging water from the casing.

4. In a dish Washing machine, the combination of a sheet metal casing provided with door openings, a plurality of perforated channels secured to the walls of the casing and cooperating therewith to form ducts communicating with each other,

means for supplying .Water to. said ducts,

dish supporting means within the casing in line with each of the door openings, perforated pipes over said supporting means and communicating with certain of said ducts, and means for controlling the discharge of water from the casing.

- In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
